About RiverScript
RiverScript is a transcription and AI analysis platform based in Finland. It enables users to convert audio and video files into text, offering tools for speaker identification, timestamp navigation, and synchronized media playback. The platform supports batch processing of large files up to 50 GB and live system audio recording on desktop environments. In addition to transcription, RiverScript provides AI-driven features such as automated translation, summarization, and a query system for transcript content. While core data storage and infrastructure are located in Helsinki, Finland, the service utilizes US-based subprocessors for specific AI and transcription tasks. Audio and video files are automatically deleted after 7 days to enhance privacy.
